Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument

This gallery contains images from hiking in the southern part of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. This area has some interesting rock formations plus many wonderful canyons to explore.
The highlight of the trip for me was hiking to a formation called 'Yellow Rock'. A huge colorful sandstone dome with some amazing patterns. This place is a landscape photographer's dream world as I have never seen such unique and colorful patterns like this before. I can not wait to go back!
